Heidi Huber started her career with the sink or swim theory. Luckily she knows the freestyle which has taken her from the Chicago stage to behind the scenes in Los Angeles where she currently continues to tap as The Whole 9’s Chief of Everything Else.
I’m big on Halloween and often dress myself and my family up in elaborate costumes. This year, my husband and I have no faith that our two year-old son will be willing to wear any type of costume. We racked our brain for something original, fun and funny and have come up with Carl Spackler [...]
Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a holiday celebrated by many in Mexico but is gaining popularity among those living in the United States. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to honor those who have died. The celebration occurs on November 2 in connection with the Catholic holidays [...]
I’ve always loved R.E.M. Being a college student of the 80’s, you know I was rocking out to ‘Reckoning’ and ‘Life’s Rich Pageant.’ Flash forward twenty-some years to me getting a personal invitation to Mike Mills’ home (he’s REM’s bass player, folks) and hanging with the likes of Michael Stipe and Peter Buck. Okay, they [...]

I was moved by Denise Day’s recent blog ‘Where I’ve Been’ about her mother’s passing and the eulogy she gave.
It’s difficult for some to give a speech whether the words are right in front of them or (God forbid) they’ve got to memorize it. The Gift of the Gab is something I inherited from my [...]
I remember the first time I heard someone was “lactose intolerant”. It was 1992 and I thought, “That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard!” Now inviting people for dinner is a juggling act of no diary, no nuts, and no spice. When did all of this happen and before we all knew about these food [...]
It’s no secret we live in a techno-driven world. People can’t answer their cell phone because they’re uploading pics to their Facebook page from their cell phone. We get mad at the limitations of our off-brand Tivo, (“I’m taping two shows right now and I can’t watch a third?! What a PAIN!”)
One of my favorite [...]
When I was in 4th grade, I saved up my money and bought a bike. It was $56, but I only had $52, so the guy came down the four bucks. No tax. It was a red ten-speed and I had it until I went to college. Eight years at $52 is a pretty amazing [...]
The last quiz I took actually prompted my “charismatic” Questions of the Day. It was in O Magazine. The good news is, I found out I’m not a wallflower (whew!)
You search “quizes” online and everything from personality tests to trivia quizes pop up.
What was the last quiz you took?
